I really dont think the Qos thing is inhibtong me this much..ill try the option, but i really am starting to think that theres a flaw in Sp1 thats causing this problem with my network...the non sp1 pro works fine, the Xp ho,e works fine and the win98 works fine yet my computer with the router inplace is having troubles....i would like to see if anyone with Sp1 installed is running into similar situations.... =Drew
